Xiao Niangpi's nature is to deal with all kinds of dissatisfaction. She immediately raised her eyebrows and turned around to see who was seeking death. She dared to tease Nai Gong on the boundary of the capital.
Yang Fan and Lin Yueru also turned around when they heard this.
After Xiao Niangpi saw the person clearly, she immediately smiled, walked forward and took the person's hand affectionately, and said, "Hey! Why did you run out?"
Yang Fan looked closely and saw a Xibei guy opposite him. He was about 1.6 meters tall. He was not beautiful at all, and his figure was a bit chubby.
But he has an oval face with baby fat, big eyes with long eyelashes, and looks round and round. Quite likeable.
Lin Yueru quietly said to Yang Fan: "Master, this is the eighth sister of the emperor, Princess Le'an. The man next to her is the consort Gong Yonggu. They have only been married for more than a month."
Yang Fan suddenly realized that this girl was Li Kangfei's daughter Huang Bamei.
Last year, Yang Fan led troops to expel the Hakka family from the palace and met Princess Zheng, Queen Zhang Yan and Xili Xuan. But I didn’t see Huang Bamei.
When Xi Li was selected as an attendant, he asked Yang Fan to bring a message to Chongzhen.
Later, Chongzhen cleared up all the past grudges and remembered the tenderness of Xi Li's selection of servants to raise him and his family relationship with his eighth sister. I'm not embarrassing them. He also granted the title of Concubine Li Kang, the selected attendant of Xili, for his father. She was treated like a concubine. The eighth sister of the emperor was given the title of Princess Le'an.
When the fire broke out in the Yaluan Palace, one of the two girls was forced to hang herself and the other to jump into the well. Now the pain has finally come to an end.
The eighth sister of the emperor is Princess Zhu Hui of Le'an, and her mother is Concubine Li Kang. Shang Gong is eternal. Chongzhen died in the 16th year of his life at the age of 32.
Princess Le'an died of illness before the collapse of the Ming Dynasty, and she escaped the tragic experience of national subjugation. Among the princesses of the Ming Dynasty, she was considered lucky.
Her brother Chongzhen loved her very much and always took good care of her. She married a husband who loved her very much and gave birth to five children. Although he did not live long, he lived a very happy life in his short life.
She died before being buried, and the city of Beijing was captured by Li Chuang. The prince-in-law closed the house and set the whole family on fire. He died as a martyr to his country. The couple were rare good people in the royal family in the late Ming Dynasty.
"Hmph, you are allowed to run around the city, but I am not allowed to come out for some air." Princess Le'an wrinkled her little nose and said dissatisfied.
"Hahaha, you ran out secretly, didn't you?" Xiao Niangpi hugged Princess Le'an's arm and shook her affectionately.
Princess Le'an rolled her eyes at the little girl and said: "Those old women are annoying to death. I want to see Fu Ma stop them in every possible way. If I can't climb trees and sneak out over the wall, I'll have a chance to come out."
Xiao Niangpi worked as a guard for the inner house in Prince Xin's Mansion, and she was a female from a hundred households. I am very familiar with Chongzhen and his wife.
Huang Bamei was raised by Xili Xuanshi together with Chongzhen when she was a child, and they had a very good relationship. After Chongzhen left the palace and opened his mansion, he often came to visit the palace. Get to know her well.
Before the princesses of the Ming Dynasty got married, they were definitely the beauties of heaven. If you are a biological sister of the emperor, you will be more respected.
But once you get married, it just falls from the sky to the ground. It's the difference in treatment between people in heaven and people on earth.
Therefore, many princesses are unwilling to get married, and would rather stay single all their lives and enjoy the happiness in the palace.
"By the way, let me introduce you. This is my husband, Yang Fan." Xiao Niangpi knew that the princess had escaped secretly, so she whispered.
Yang Fan quickly bowed and saluted, and said, "Yang Fan has met Mrs. Gong."
Princess Le'an immediately took a liking to Yang Fan. General Yang, who was so impressive in the capital, was indeed well informed. I knew I didn't want to reveal my identity, so I said this deliberately.
The little girl gave Yang Fan a look that was mixed with joy and anger, "Humph, you can talk." Turning to look at Gong Yonggu, he whispered: "Is this your husband?"
Gong Yonggu quickly saluted Yang Fan and others and said, "Gong Yonggu has met General Yang and Mrs. Yang."
Yang Fan also quickly returned the gift.
Yang Fan looked carefully and found that Gong Yonggu was about 1.8 meters tall, which was slightly taller than himself. He is a very strong man, with a dignified appearance, sharp eyebrows and starry eyes, and sharp edges on his face. From his appearance, he is a very decent person.
I have a very good impression of him. Yang Fan has always believed that there are many bastards in the royal family, those with real abilities and very few with virtue.
When Taizu was alive, there were only 58 clan members in the country. By the time of Zhu Di, the number of clan members had grown to 127. During the Zhu Zaijing period, the old Zhu family's clan numbered 45,000 people. During the Wanli period, there were 103,000 people. During the Chongzhen period, someone made a rough calculation and found that there were no less than 200,000 clan members in the Ming Dynasty.
According to etiquette, after the fifth service, they are no longer relatives. Ordinarily, there would not be so many clans accumulated. But Zhu Yuanzhang was reluctant to let his descendants suffer.
The order of demotion he set was prince, county king, general of Zhenguo, general of auxiliary country, general of Fengguo, lieutenant of Zhenguo, lieutenant of auxiliary state, and lieutenant of Fengguo. Eight levels.
After being demoted to the rank of Lieutenant of Fengguo, his descendants will always be Lieutenants of Fengguo and will no longer be demoted. He has always remained within the clan and received a share of money and food. That's why there are so many people in the clan.
Now, after more than two hundred years, the clan has become too numerous to support.
The monetary tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty was only more than 4 million yuan a year, and the clan's annual salary required 8.63 million taels of silver. The clan alone was enough to bankrupt Ming Dynasty.
Now, the annual military expenditure is at least more than 7 million taels, plus more than 8 million to support the clan, it is really impossible to spend. The imperial court could only rely on means such as defaulting on arrears, misappropriating official salaries, and sending extra payments.
If officials are not paid wages, they can only scrape the land, receive kickbacks, float away, or otherwise live a poor life.
Since they can't afford to support the clan, they can only force the household department to come up with some destructive tricks to deal with the clan.
People in the clan die every year, and new ones are born every year. If you die, you can cancel your account directly and you don’t need to pay any money. The newly born court has to be given a name. Only with a name can you receive money and food.
The civil servants delayed in naming the person. If they didn't name him, the person would not be on the list and there would be no need to pay money or food. As a result, many clan members are in their thirties and don't even have names. Worked as a gangster in the Ming Dynasty.
The clan did not allow him to do business or farm. Because he cares about the royal family and has no freedom to make a living. The salary was in arrears again. Many people starved to death.
Fortunately, the princesses are pretty good, and Shang's consorts all come from wealthy businessmen's homes, so their lives are pretty good.
Yang Fan saw that it was inconvenient to talk here, so he whispered: "Let's talk upstairs."
Hu Er also saw that the new couple who came in were also noble people.
Even Tu Shan, who is famous for his cruelty, has to work hard to please, so he must be a person with a great background. Immediately with a smile on his face, he took several people to the best private room on the third floor.
"I'll take care of the third floor. Don't let anyone else come up and disturb you." Yang Fan turned around and said. Then throw a golden melon seed backwards.
Hu Er's lightning-fast grasp and his clever hands and feet amazed Yang Fan. I think this guy is really an outstanding person in the market.
Zhang Cheng arranged for two people to guard the stairs going up to the second floor. He and two other people sat on the scattered seats on the third floor. The three attendants brought by the consort sat at another table.
